"Mom, don’t overthink it. Xinluo doesn’t understand the relationship with us at all right now. Having grown up outside, she’s sure to have some resentment towards family. We can’t rush things!"

"I know..."

But knowing is one thing. Listening to Ye Xinluo’s words, it’s impossible for my heart not to ache.

After all, knowing and doing are two different things...

So many times, I wanted to tell her that over these years, not a day has gone by without thinking of her, always hoping to see her again. But now that that day has come, she holds a grudge against me...

A grudge for leaving her behind back then... 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

If they weren’t at her daughter’s house, Zhang Minyi might have wanted to have a good cry, but she still had to go inside to see Xinluo later, so she couldn’t shed tears, absolutely couldn’t...

Holding back the stinging sensation in her eyes, she stood up, turned her back to Ling Haoyu, and asked, "Is there a way to make her remember the past?"

"There’s no shortcut for this kind of thing. Unless she remembers by herself, forcefully stimulating her memory would be unbearable for Xinluo!"

"She’s not Ye Xinluo, she’s Ling Lin!"

As if anticipating what his mother would say, Ling Haoyu was much calmer, "Mom, I know you’re heartbroken. It’s hard to bear knowing Linlin is right there but not being able to acknowledge her. But now we’re in Xinluo’s house. She could come out at any time, so it’s better not to say certain things!"

Zhang Minyi frowned. After being by Mr. Ling’s side for so many years, she had picked up some of his domineering and sharp personality, "Why can’t I say it? There’s no one around; can’t we talk? I just want to wait for Linlin to have the baby, and then take her home!"

"No." Ling Haoyu immediately refuted without hesitation, "Even if Xinluo remembered the past, she wouldn’t easily come home with us due to her aversion to family. Mom, don’t make a wrong decision just because you feel bad. Don’t forget, you have a five-year-old grandson, and Xinluo is carrying a granddaughter. Can you really bear to let her be unhappy?"

Before Ling Haoyu could finish speaking, there was a sound similar to a glass cup falling to the ground not far away.

Startled, he turned his head and saw the scene he least wanted to see at that moment...

Ye Xinluo was shocked, staring blankly as she looked down at the shattered glass at her feet. She had made the Calming Tea specifically because she noticed her aunt was in a bad mood...

"She’s not Ye Xinluo, she’s Ling Lin!"

"I just want to wait for Linlin to have the baby, and then take her home..."

Only these two sentences echoed in her ears; she couldn’t hear anything else.

Ye Xinluo, Ling Lin, Ling Lin, Ye Xinluo...

Suddenly, it was as if something broke out of its shell in her mind, causing a burst of pain...

Ye Xinluo held her head with one hand, feeling terribly uncomfortable, staggering back a few steps, and only managed to steady herself by leaning against the wall...

"Linlin, Linlin, be good, call brother and you’ll get to eat..."

"Duoduo, Duoduo..."

"Duoduo, I want candy..."

The two young children were playing and laughing. This time, Ye Xinluo clearly saw the little boy’s face, very immature.

It was exactly like the photos Ling Haoyu had shown her of his son before, almost certainly, this was the young Ling Haoyu...
